Django Django

Django Django’s walk on the wild side was always going to lead to adventurous sounds. The band, formed at Edinburgh College of Art and now based in east London, are drawn to gloriously out-there music that breaks the rules. Their debut album exudes a fantastic air of unpredictability as they make free with their psychedelic art-pop shine. But whereas such freewheeling can sometimes indicate a triumph of style over substance, Django Django don’t spare the musical smarts as they give you one riotously unhinged pop nugget after another.
